You know you're getting old when............

[yellowbelly]

I really like the 'Harry's Farm' channel (is that the correct word?) on YouTube.

He's a real sensible bloke and puts his (our) point of view over really well.
I got a bit of a shock while watching his latest offering.........

..........there he was regaling us with his modern cereal establishment techniques and what a far cry it was from the old way that we used to carry on..........

...........and then, blow me down with a feather, if a picture of three of our tractors (from the early 80's) didn't pop up..........

It's a bit of a bu66er, when you've got to be that old, that pictures of 'your heyday' are used as an example of the 'bad old days'

Harry must drop by TFF now and again as he put a credit to The Farming Forum on the pic in his video at 8.22.

Now I'm famous if anybody wants a signed copy of any pics of 1970's/80's Fords please enclose SAE with your requests

Bet you didnt have uncontrolable blackgrass then and still had 4t/ac yields with AN at £80/ton?... bring back bad old days!

Harry is a rare gem there aint many as honest as him out there. He is practially farming for a hobby nowerdays surely but he likes to do it

No wonder I've never made any money - didn't think of that

No BG here (Yet) best wheat did 3.91t/ac this harvest with Nitram used costing £197/t good job that wheat will ave £200/t mind in the 80's it might have been £90

It'll never catch on, no twin becons, no GPS, no 4wd and at least 100hp per tractor too little.

Boys land! And look at those nice modern houses. I always envied my schoolmates who lived in those new build seventies houses compared to our damp old farmhouse.

 

[Muddyroads]

Whenever we see the lineup of “vintage” tractors at events like the county show, I find myself admitting that I’ve driven over half of them. Yet I’m “only” 55.

 

[DrWazzock]

I'm over 50 and everyday is a classic working day!

It won't matter if nitrogen gets to be £1000/te if we could just get a crop of them at our side of the road
